Winter Fun at Lake Wissota State Park

Ice fishing for crappies, walleye and bluegill and 7 miles of groomed and marked cross-country ski trails and 5 miles of snowmobile trails connected to an elaborate county trail system are some of the attractions drawing winter visitors to Lake Wissota State Park

While the park is open year round, the campground roads are not plowed for snow. Car and recreational vehicle campers camp only until the snow gets deep, but other more rugged winter campers often park on the main park road and carry their gear into the campground.

The cross-country ski trails are groomed for both traditional stride and skate skiing. The park also has a 9.6 miles of trail open for snowshoeing, and snowshoes are available for rent at the park office.
